Hello All,

Please find my experience and knowledge wrt Bytecoin (https://bytecoin.org/ )in one place.

Copying and pasting from https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BCNBTC/749ZPsEZ-BCN-Bytecoin-Future/

“” Bytecoin is the first crypto coin that has build on CryptoNight Algorithm. It was first but the other CryptoNight coin that called Monero got the attention and growing more and more. Actually CryptoNight based coins has good safety and anonymity. I believe that this coin has a great potentials for grows in next days. It was so many rumors that saying BCN is dead, but after a new release of new wallet with some fixed issues in 2016, i believed that we should have nice news and breaking silence by developers of BCN/BTC.””

I used cryptonator to exchange BTC to BCN for a future growth , if interested please use this affiliate link https://www.cryptonator.com/auth/signup/101791393 and we will get a $ 10 USD referral bonus.

After purchasing , I downloaded a SW wallet from https://bytecoin.org/downloads

You can mine BCN on your laptop as well , how profitable it will be , I don’t know but it is certainly doable.

The problem which I faced after downloading and installing 1.1.9.3 Wallet was that it was taking hours and hours of synchronizing and reading https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/bcn/post/p_16378/BTC I came to know about http://knowbytecoin.blogspot.in/2017/08/how-to-get-blazing-fast-blockchain-sync.html , changing the RPC worked that my wallet was synced with no time but the coins were not showing up in the wallet , even after hours afterwards , so I changed RPC to other servers but it did not helped.

Then I looked and came to know about Bytecoin blockchain download via https://bytecoindb.blogspot.mx/ and I followed the setps of downloading two files from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4t0S1ES9L-ROHNZdjVwVi1Rd0E which are blocks.bin and blockindexes.bin and read the instructions which I am again pasting it for your perusal here

Before you start , please change the preferences from RPC to auto as it was in default if you had it changed before.

   Note: Remember that your bytecoin wallet needs updating until today, so you'll have to wait a little longer to a full sync.

Please try to donate if possible on the wallets listed @ https://bytecoindb.blogspot.mx/

After following the process , I opened the wallet again , it took about 3 hours for it to sync the full blockchain and then it got opened and then took about an hour more to finish the process but once it is done , my coins showed up which made me happy and accomplished after so much time spend on different forums and the second transfer took less then a minute from the crypotnator exchange which is blazing fast and expected.
